411 W . Curtiss
1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
A typical , well preserved example of the Bungalow style , this
house is similar in massing and detailing to two others
nearby, 619 W . Olive and 401 W . Curtiss , and may all be the
work of the same builder, possibly Rube A . Young .
E The house may have been first occupied by James M . Holderby ,
a millwright for the Bozeman Milling Co . , according to the
1916- 17 city directory , and an engineer for the Montana
Flour Mills Co . , according to the 1927 directory . In both
directories , Holderby , who signed the 1911 water permit for
the site , is listed as living here .
Curiously , in the 1910- 11 directory , James M . Holderby is listed
as having " removed to Ogden , Utah . "
In 1917 , Holderby may have commissioned the construction of
418 W . Curtiss .
